hi guys, i want to know about the implementaition of set\_position(), and about a specific thing, when setting both the x and y position at the same time, does set\_position() starts with x or with y , meaning does it move the object x units then moves the object y units or the opposite or at the same time? i cant conceive of seetting the position of the the x and y axis at the same time,it must be one before the other right?

For all intents and purposes, it’s at the same time.  
No other operation gets inbetween the assignment.
